Congrats Alex Tsai and John Lozada for your provocative discovery that immunotherapy sensitivity in cancer may be associated with expansion of CD4+CD8+ (double positive) and NK-like T cells that express TCRs. @UMNews @UMNCancer cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Please check out our CASCARA trial, the first study to use a quadruplet initial systemic regimen for high-volume metastatic prostate cancer. Let’s design a randomized Phase 3 trial to explore this further. @charlesryanmd @UMNCancer aacrjournals.org/clincancerres/…

Largest retrospective study (N=93) of checkpoint-inhibitor efficacy in pts with dMMR mCRPC. Those with 3-4 modes of dMMR detection (protein IHC loss, gene alteration, MSI-hi, and TMB >20) have greatest survival. euoncology.europeanurology.com/action/showPdf…

Largest study of BRCA-associated cancers (24,309) shows that somatic tumor landscape is influenced by germline HRR muts: gBRCA1-altered cancers are enriched in somatic TP53 muts; gATM-altered cancers are depleted in TP53 mut. Congrats @aliarafaa @umncancer aacrjournals.org/clincancerres/…

Thank you @neerajaiims for conducting such a masterful interview and for recognizing the importance of this work
🧬 Groundbreaking insights into #FOXA1 in #ProstateCancer!
Drs. @neerajaiims @huntsmancancer, @EAntonarakis and Justin Hwang, PhD @UMNCancer discuss:
🔹 FOXA1 mutations found in 15% of cases, higher in Asian (25%) & Black (20%) patients
🔹 Opposing clinical outcomes from diffsensitivity vs. resistance
🔹 Rare FOXA1 R219 mutation linked to lineage plasticity & poor prognosis

This research paves the way for personalized approaches using DNA/RNA sequencing. More validations & collaborations ahead!
